Everyone knows the Rubik's Cube, but not everyone can solve it.The colorful brain teaser is one of the most popular toys of all time, and it dates back to the 1970s in Hungary. We spoke with the inventor of the cube, Erno Rubik, to find out how he came up with the idea.

It's very impressive when I hear about people who solve the cube on their own, without using any guides from books or the internet. I remember years ago someone posted their own solve using algorithms they came up with on their own and there were actually people complaining how his method was slow and inefficient and that the Beginner's method was far superior. I was like, the dude solve the cube BY HIMSELF! Who cares if his method won't win any speedcubing records?

I think we can all agree that Ernö Rubik is: A god of speedcubing, puzzles and 3D thinking. The one who started my hobby. The guy who made me not waste my time on the Internet, but get out with friends, solve cubes and meet new people having the same hobby. I hope he lives a long life. I wish this man all the luck in life he needs. He deserves it. All of the people that are united because of speedsolving Rubik's cubes (or Magic cubes of course). And it happened because of crazy idea of one teacher.

@AzPlayz1052 4 года назад

Erno has been doing these interviews alot and i can see it in his eyes that he is tired of saying the same exact story over and over again

@Gadget-Walkmen 2 года назад

I wouldn’t say he’s “tired” at all despite saying the same story over and over with a few changes in there to change things up as he’s not forced to be in these interviews at all. He’s doing all by choice and that’s a decision he continuously does.

@TheDrexxus 5 лет назад

I taught myself how to solve them for the funsies, but I could never get into the whole speed cubing thing. In my "prime", when I played around with it often, I could solve them in less than a minute which made for a pretty nifty thing to show off, almost like a bar trick because most folks don't realize just how easy it is if you know how to do it. I can still solve them now but, would probably take a couple of minutes.

I was 6 years old in 1974 when the cube was created. I finally decided in 2018 to learn how to solve the rubies cube. By 2019 I was proficient at solving the cube. By the time covid19 hit us and forced us into stay at home lockdown in New Zealand I was perfectly ready to pass the t8me with my cube. I now teach my 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son. The mental benefits of the cube are many and impactful.

Rubik’s cube was one of my favorite toys as a kid besides duck hunt and super Mario bros on Nintendo with my uncle Leonard who was paralyzed we used to play with those toys for hours every Saturday afternoon when he would babysit me my sister and my cousins. We knew how to move him in his wheelchair and he knew how to discipline us even though he was crippled. He was a good dad.
